A Great Find!


My cousin was recently in town and we discovered an awesome shoe store down the street from my house.  This is like finding buried treasure because I am obsessed with all great shoes.  I bought these Boots and they are Rachel Zoe's pick, comfortable, and they fit a wide calf.  I have muscular calves so it's a big deal to find a boot that fits them and jeans.  I hope everyone is having a great weekend!! 6 days until the big REVEAL!!!!

Chapter 2: DECISIONS

At this point I am officially 4 months pregnant!  I haven't gained any weight yet, but that is because I initially lost weight from food aversions and morning sickness.  I am also still working out 3-4 days a week.  Morning sickness stopped at 13 weeks and I was so happy to tell it goodbye!!  Everything else has gone great! We heard the heartbeat on 9-15-10 and it was 160. 
We find out what baby Rigby is in 12 days.  I cannot wait!!!!  I do not see how people wait because I have tried buying gender neutral things and it is slim pickings.  I am thinking of having a gender reveal BBQ.  What are your thoughts on that?  Has anyone done it before?  I was thinking it would be a fun way to tell the surprise and hang out with friends. 
My first baby purchase was a Kate Spade baby bag that I had been eyeing for about a year and I LOVE IT!!!  It is more of a casual one, so I am going to get a really nice one that looks like a purse too.

I should be feeling this little baby sometime soon.  I am not real sure how I know if it's the baby or not. Feel free to give me clues readers!!
 
Now on to the grown up decisions for baby Rigby:
DECISIONS DECISIONS DECISIONS

My MIL and I went shopping for the first time about 3 weeks ago and WOW!!  I was worn out from just looking.  How do mother's know all the things a baby needs?  I need a manual for this!  I would like to pick everything out based on styles, but I know I have to read reviews to get the safest things.  Since we live in this area picking a daycare has to be done ASAP!!! I hope we are not already to late.  I had no clue that daycare would be more than most college tuition's.  You would die if you knew how expensive it is here.  M is really working hard to have some big plans in action when baby Rigby gets here, so if I do not want to return full time I have the option.  I do not think I am the full time stay at home type, but would LOVE LOVE to work part time and PRN.  I am so blessed to be in a field where that is super easy to do.  We learned at our last appointment that we have to pick a pediatrician.  I am glad they told us because that had not crossed our minds once.  M told me the other day that he doesn't think we are going to have any trouble with this newborn....... I immediately signed us up for a baby class. LOL  M is going to be the best father.  He rubs my belly and talks to the baby all the time.  I feel this whole process has us falling in love even more. 

Thanks again GOD!

Stay tuned for the big REVEAL!
XOXO

The Horse Beach-Chincoteague, VA

My birthday weekend at the end of August I went with my in-laws to the beach.  This isn't your ordinary beach because wild horses roam all over.  The weather was perfect and my favorite part was the drive only being 3 hours.  The beaches were very clean and the town is probably the most quaint beach town in the country.  For more information Pony beach
